Cold air is dense so while you can make more power it increases aero drag. Around town you may pick up a little on the highway you lose some. My forester is terrible when cold, the transmission and front differential share the same penutbutter fluid and I can hardly get it into first gear. It has a manual. I need to change that fluid, hopefully to something a little more fluid. Like you said, it feels like the brake is still on.
